Summer Travels

I've been meaning to upload some pictures from my summer travels for a while now, and have finally found the perfect, lazy Saturday afternoon to do it! Unfortunately I'm still without a high-speed wireless connection so it's taking a while for these pictures to load (otherwise I would have shared many more) but for now it will have to suffice. And the other odd thing with pictures on this site is that they load in reverse chronological order so the pictures aren't exactly in the same order that I travelled. Enjoy!

My aunt and uncle from Trinidad were in New York at the same time as us - we had a wonderful time sight-seeing together! Here we are having a coffee break in one of the Trump buildings.

During our stay in New York we took a carriage ride through Central Park

Of course I insisted stopping at Strawberry Fields to pay my respects to Lennon (once a Beatles fan, ALWAYS a Beatles fan)

Some of the family after my cousin Maya's wedding ceremony

Later that evening the wedding reception took place...fantastic party!

At the 'Top of the Rock' (Rockefeller Building)

Our hotel was in Times Square, one of the most energised, electric places I've seen.

M&M World

Need I say more?

My cousin's wife Asha and her daughter Ashley (on the only ride the three of us can handle!)

My first trip to Disney World!

Believe it or not? This is one of the Ripley's museums in Orlando...

Mum and I in the IceBar in Orlando...brrrr!

Exploring downtown Ottawa!

The view from our tent...

My first time sleeping in (and pitching) a tent!!!

There is something really liberating about pitching a tent on your own...it was a proud moment for Mel and I!

We also purchased a DVD with footage from our rafting trip in Ottawa, which I spliced into a shorter clip of our raft in particular. Hopefully this works (you might need to click 'play' and then pause it for a few minutes to load before playing the entire clip):
